The plot follows Task Force X aka “The Suicide Squad", a collection of supervillains offered a simple deal by high-ranking government official Amanda Waller: have a bomb temporarily placed in the base of their skull to assure they don't try to escape and take on an increasingly deadly series of black ops missions in return for having their prison sentence reduced after each success. Their mission today? Survive being dropped onto Corto Maltese, a remote island filled with criminals and soldiers all guarding a massive secret that could spell doom for the entire world. Also, don't get too attached, because not everyone's gonna make it.
